Why did I blame PM? Modi quotes Baru to humiliate Cong

BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today used Sanjay Baru’s book to launch a scathing attack against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia and vice president Rahul Gandhi.

“I may have criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, but I should not have done that. After reading Baru’s book I have realised nothing that went wrong during the UPA was his fault. It was the work of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi,” he said.

Modi said that he had hardly seen the prime minister smile. “Now I understand the situation the prime minister was in. He hardly had any reason to smile,” Modi.

Speaking of Manmohan Singh’s daughter’s remark on Baru’s book, he said, “She only said that Baru has betrayed the family by giving out inside information. She never said the information was false. "

Modi also compared Rahul Gandhi to a child. “Earlier he was roaming around with a balloon, but now a toffee has caught his fancy,” Modi said and added, “Sonia Gandhi had thought her son would manage. But since he couldn’t, she came on TV,” he said.

Modi also blamed the Congress for creating tension between the IB and the CBI and added, “As soon as the Congress formed government at Centre, it removed governors across the country without following any norms.”
